Tyler Perry Slams Insurance Companies for Canceling Plans Ahead of L.A. Fires

Tyler Perry slammed home insurance companies that did not renew homeowner policies ahead of the Los Angeles wildfires.

The Madea franchise director described the “gut-wrenching” feeling of watching a daughter use a garden hose to tame a fire swallowing her 90-year-old parents’ home, after their insurance was canceled. “Does anyone else find it appalling that insurance companies can take billions of dollars out of communities for years and then, all of a sudden, be allowed to cancel millions of policies for the very people they became rich on,” Perry wrote in a social media post Sunday. California ‘s largest home insurer, State Farm General, announced in March it would not renew 30,000 homeowner and condo policies when they expired.
